===Pick a topic from the list below to research:===
DAY ONE
You will be making a Google Slideshow on animals at risk of extinction. Working in groups of two or alone, pick one of the following animals to research and learn about: aquatic tenrecs, African elephants, blue whales, aye-ayes, vaquitas, hawksbill turtles.
2. After you have selected your topic, use the CPS databases or reliable websites (a good website is the World Wildlife Federation) to find answers to the following questions (make sure you divide up the questions to research):
Where does this animal live (country and habitat)?
How many of these are still in existence?
What are the threats to this creature's existence? (For example, is loss of habitat due to human encroachment a cause of its declining numbers? Does pollution hurt this creature? Is the creature being hunted to extinction?)
DAY TWO
Create a Google Slideshow which contains all the answers you researched, as well as at least 5 photographs of your animal.
DAY THREE
Spend the first half of the class finishing your slideshow and EDITING the slides. We will be presenting the slideshow during the last half of the class.
